VOORHEES, ON BOOMs.
Sherman's and the Other Littie
Ones-A story Applicable
An Tuffle.

A Kansas City special to the World
says: Senator b. w. Voorhees,, OF In
diana, passed through here Friday.
Being asked as to politics he paid his
compliments to Blaine and Tuttle as
follows:
at is difficult to forecast the politi-
cal situation with any degree OF aceu-
racy. To my mind it is pretty plain
that Blaine, If he wants it, can have the
nomination of the next Republican con-
vention. The little booms for Sherman
and other aspirants always loom up
just before the convention meets only
to demonstrate how weak and shallow
their claims are. The action of the
PENNSYLVANIA State Convention has I'M
Goubtedly struck the keynote OF the
Republican shibboleths for the next
campaign. The rebel-hag incident and
the infant industry arguments Will be
the stock in trade of the campaign ora
tors.
"By the way, speaking OF the flag
incident reminds me of the mau who
had a neighbor who used to enter his
harm at all times and borrow his horse.
He used the horse so much that he
thought he had right to it superior to
that of the owner. The accommodating
owner grew tired of maintaining the
beast for the benefit OF his neighbor,
and one night went over to that gentle
mans house to get the animal. lie was
met by the neighbor, shotgun in hand,
who refused to give up the animal, say
ing Il know the horse is yours, but
its - impolite of you nosing around
my house in the night. Come III the
DAYTIME and ask for the horse, and per-
haps / Will let you have it..
General futile thinks it's very I'M
rolite Of the President to Issue an order
Tor the return of the flags, but it would
be perfectly proper if Congress should
grant it on the plaintiye requests of the
various southern States. These men,
like futile, are not abreast of the times,
and their utterances are Of no signIii-
cance. The Administration Of Cleye-
land has been a pronounced success.
With Cleveland at the head of the
Democratic ticket-he will in all pro-
liability be put there-success is as
sured."

WASHINGTON, August 23.-The fol-
lowing letter from the statistlcian OF the
Agricultural Department was prepared
in compliance with the request OF the
committee Of tobacco-men who nave
been in consultation with the Commis-
sioner of Agriculture and the Statlstl-
cian since yesterday morning:
WASHINGTON, ID. C., Aug. %, 1881
lion. Norman d. Cotmdn, Comm's-
Sio8cy u agriculture;
In accordance with your direction L
have consolidated the August returns
already received, and reviewed all data
from other sources up to date, together
with that upon which the July tobacco
report was based, especially for Ken
tucky, relative to which great diiter-
ence of opinion has existed and much
interest excited, Us that State Is the
most prominent in tobacco growing,
usually producing about four tenths OF
the product of the United States. L
find that the late returns so far as re-
ceiyed make an average OF only 40
Der cent. Of last years acreage, "hiie
nrivate returns from over 5000 grow
ers of western tobacco reporting thelr
own area in cultivation this year IN
comparison with their acreage last
yesrInake an area of even less than 4oPer
cent. The July report for KENTUCKY,
which was based upon the returns oi
sixtv.six correspondents, each repre-
sepiing county. made an acreage
of SO per cent. of that OF 1885. IN
tic examination Of these reports, ana
in view of the results OF long .expe-
rience of a tendency to underestimate
the acreage, led me to place the Ken.
lucky acreage at 70 per cent. Recent
returns have very clearly shown tnst =
concerted effort was made 10 reduce
the area this year on account OF
the recent low aud upremunerativo
prices, and unfavoraBle condition,
